Welcome to CMake, the cross-platform, open-source make system. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. CMake is quite sophisticated: it is possible to support complex environments requiring system configuration, pre-processor generation, code generation, and template instantiation.

Development Topics

CMake

CTest

CPack

Tutorials

CMake

  • Qt with CMake Explains how to use CMake to build software with Qt4 and how to use it for Qt3 and KDE3 applications
  • Chicken Scheme - is a Scheme-to-C compiler which supports all major C compilers and OSs. Its extensively commented build system is easy to understand and demonstrates many non-trivial CMake features, e.g. how to generate source files and executables that are needed by the build itself, how to use ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND to drive languages other than C/C++ and more.


CTest

  • Testing With CTest
    Introduces to testing with CTest, submitting dashboards, and using CMake to add tests to the test system.
  • CTest Scripting
    Describes the scripting with CTest which can significantly simplify and automate testing and submitting dashboards.

CPack


Converters from other buildsystems to CMake

All converters listed here are not "complete", i.e. the generated CMake files are not 100% finished, in all cases some work is left for the developer.

  • am2cmake (written in Ruby) Converts automake/autotools/libtool based projects to CMake. This one has been used for converting the KDE buildsystem to CMake. It's specialized in converting KDE 4 and KDE 3, but works also for other projects.
